For Wednesday, July 11:

You are often so determined to achieve a goal that you push yourself to the point of exhaustion. As a result, sometimes your best ideas go up in flames. Learn to pace yourself. If you are single, you could meet someone intense and appealing. If you are attached, the two of you can achieve one of your life desires if you remain focused.
